Composition / Arranging / Engraving

I compose and arrange original music in a variety of styles, formats, and instrumentations. As a woodwind artist, I specialize in writing horn section parts for live shows and studio sessions. I also offer custom engraving services to produce professional sheet music, which is commonly requested by musicians with handwritten charts that need to be digitalized or those that need an original song transcribed from a recording. Other requests have ranged from jazz lead sheets to SATB choir + organ, string quartets to full orchestral scores, and I use my experience as a musician to make nuanced decisions that are necessary for the best end product. Please contact me with the details of your project for further information and rates. Below are some reviews from clients I've done work for:

“I was so lucky to have found Brian Falkowski to do charts for me and my students. I've referred singers from all over the world to him. Thank you Brian!” - Jay Clayton, Jazz Vocalist/Educator

“Brian's transcriptions of North Indian Classical music to western notation have always been very clear and accurate. He usually is able to do a quick turnaround which is great. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to have transcription work done in a professional manner. ” - Nistha Raj, Violinist, Founder & Director - District of Raga

“Brian's charts/transcriptions are outstanding in that he transcribes the nuanced Brazilian rhythms I perform into charts that all musicians can easily read and perform. He not only makes great transcriptions and arrangements, but also adds necessary instrument specific rhythmic notations to help the reader play.” - Pablo Regis de Oliveira, Executive Director - EducArte Inc.

Studio Recording

As a multi-instrumentalist, I enjoy contributing my talents to other artist's recording projects across many genres. Whether it is a 8-bar improvised sax solo, or a full orchestrated woodwind section, I always strive to creatively enhance the music according to your needs. I can remotely overdub myself on your music and return WAV file(s) via WeTransfer file-sharing usually within a 24-48 hour turnaround. Rates depend on the song length, number of instruments needed, and details of the musical arrangement. Below is a cross section of recordings I've made for clients over the years.
